Wayne Rooney insists Man Utd will keep fighting as winless run extends after Chelsea draw

WAYNE ROONEY insisted Manchester United will keep fighting to turn their poor run around as Louis van Gaal's side extended their winless streak to eight matches.

 

Wayne Rooney missed a great chance late on to give Man Utd victory against Chelsea

 

United, who were much improved from the Boxing Day defeat at Stoke, missed several opportunities in the goalless draw with Chelsea.

Rooney, who returned to the starting line-up, squandered a good chance late on as he fired wide from close range.

But the best chance of the match fell to the Blues' Nemanja Matic, who blasted over when clean through.

And speaking after the match Rooney was adamant United will keep fighting to turn their poor run around.

 

He told BT Sport: "We created a lot of chances but didn't manage to take one. 

"The crowd were excellent today and you could see how much it meant to the players.

"It's a disappointing result because we dominated the game but that is football.

"A lot of people say a lot of different things. We would be letting ourselves down if we didn't go out on the pitch and give our all. We will keep fighting and we will come back."
